Daniel Radcliffe says no to another Harry Potter

Daniel takes the lead as Harry Potter in the final installment of the film Warner Brothers

It's a resounding no to excited Potter fans as Daniel Radcliffe rules out a potential sequel based on J.K. Rowling's new short story.

The 24-year-old star - who played the boy wizard in all eight blockbuster films - says the author's 1,500-word story, which features a 34 year old Harry attending the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, is unlikely to be adapted for the big screen.

Speaking to reporters yesterday, he's quoted by The Hollywood Reporter as saying: "My inclination is to say 'no' because I don't think it's even a hypothetical at the moment. What she's written -- and I haven't read yet but I will -- I understand it's a very short piece. And he's 12 years older than I am now."

Rowling's story is written as a dispatch from journalist Rita Skeeter - who features in the books as a writer for the Daily Prophet. It offers an update into the lives of Harry and his magical pals Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, seven years after the final book was released - and it looks as though there are some problems that magic just can't solve.

Harry is feeling the affects of aging with "threads of silver" in his famous black hair, and there are hints that Harry and wife Ginny Potter nee Weasley are experiencing marital problems. he has also developed a "nasty cut over his right cheekbone" to go along with the famous lightning bolt scar on his forehead.
